• Develop infrastructure-as-code solutions using Ansible, Helm, and other automation tools.
• Secure containers and clusters with hardened baselines (DoD STIG/FIPS) and continuous compliance scanning.
• Implement logging, monitoring, and alerting across infrastructure using open-source or commercial observability stacks.
• Automate image builds and vulnerability scanning in accordance with CMMC / ITAR controls.
• Manage configuration drift, access control, and audit trails in line with NIST 800-171 and CMMC Level 2.
• Collaborate with software, QA, and security teams to integrate DevSecOps principles throughout the SDLC.
• Optimize build and deployment workflows for reliability, reproducibility, and speed in regulated environments.
• Participate in on-call rotations and incident response to maintain uptime and security posture.
Qualifications:
Required:
• 4 + years of hands-on experience in DevOps, SRE, or infrastructure engineering.
• Proven expertise managing Kubernetes clusters and containerized applications in production.
• Strong knowledge of CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions or similar systems.
• Proficiency in Linux administration, Bash/Python scripting, and infrastructure automation (Ansible, Terraform).
• Experience securing and hardening Linux servers and container images (STIG, FIPS, CIS).
• Familiarity with CMMC Level 2, NIST 800-171, or ITAR compliance requirements.
• Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot complex build and deployment pipelines.
• Excellent documentation, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.
Preferred:
• Experience managing hybrid or air-gapped Kubernetes environments.
• Background in DoD-aligned infrastructure or regulated manufacturing environments.
• Experience integrating security scanning tools (Trivy, Anchore, Grype) into CI/CD.
• Familiarity with service mesh / mTLS (Istio, Linkerd) and secret management (Vault).
• Working knowledge of Azure Government, AWS GovCloud, or equivalent environments.
• Understanding of GitOps patterns and declarative infrastructure management.
